they were at war with the washington establishment. washington reportedly tested both of them. bill clinton frequently lied to the press. they didn't like him at all and she didn't like the press at all which is why she did the thing with the white house press corps and travelgate and stuff. her position at that point was it she gave up anything she might give up everything. she held on to things to get into this -- polarized kind of attitude which was clearly a vast right wing conspiracy argument. she lost what she had in college and in law school which was this sense that her role was never to alienate someone but always stay in touch. that was the function of how fearful she was that she would lose grasp of power that she succeeded in gaining and therefore had to fight it all away to have it her own way. >> what is your comment on the relationship between president clinton and president obama and how the role works? >> none of us knows full be what the relationship is accept bill clinton made a very conscious decision that it was to his self-interest and the interest of the

washington was infuriated. so came about one of the great informal agreements in american legal history. there was an agreement that if the constitution ratified as written by the 77 convention, there would be a bill of rights. -- by the 1777 convention, there would be a bill of rights. so we had a bill of rights in 1791. we have a hamiltonian structure under jeffersonian bill of rights. -- structure and a jeffersonian bill of rights. one of the principal structures is separation of powers and checks and balances. we use those terms often interchangeably. they have a different crest. separation of powers teaches that each branch of the government has a certain autonomy to act on its own. checks and balances works the other way around. it indicates the government cannot operate unless the branches interact with each other. there is a certain newtonian metaphor to checks and balances. the framers of the constitution and their fellow countrymen were sons of the enlightenment. it was not just jefferson. many of the

>> it's interesting that it's thought that washington set the two-term limit. simply, it was a constitutional amendment. but the fact is that grant wanted a third term, and he didn't have his own party opposing him because they didn't feel he had been a good president. but he would have been a third-term president. and the teddy, theodore roosevelt if he had not said that he was not going to run again, he would have had a third term, there's no question because of his popularity. so i think your question is -- roosevelt then became the powerful, hugely admired president because of his third term. but he needed world war ii and the success he had there to make that third term valuable. i've been asked whether or not we should only have one six terms. i think the idea of allowing the american people to choose or not choose the re-election of a president one time is enough because you do have the potential for what we see in places like with chavez and so forth. so i would say that our system from that standpoint is correct, but we -- i think we don't want third t
